Stairs are one part of the house which reflect the homeowner’s personality. Now that there are dedicated craftsmen who produces excellent work of art for handrails for stairs, no one will forget to notice that wonderful piece which connects all parts of the house to the ground.

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/22/2014 -- Building a house requires proper planning, money and skills. After all had been set, the next thing to do is to decide on which furniture and style fit the interior of the home. One of the things which are normally being missed when designing a multi-level house's interior is the design of the handrails for the stairs. Not much thought is given to the design of the handrails as the homeowner go up and down the stairs. However, there are a few TIPS and advices to consider in buying and choosing the best handrails for stairs.

First, the homeowner must consider their taste when it comes to design. The interior of the house must reflect that of the owner's taste, love and passions. One must look at the colours, details and influences which shaped the construction of the home. For instance, if the home was built with an artist's influence and the home-owner loves to display painting, sculpture and other works of art, then the handrails for stairs must display the same artisan quality.

Second, it is important to keep aesthetics and safety a priority. In choosing a handrail design beauty and security should go hand in hand. Local building codes will dictate the height required for the railings of the stairs as well as the hand extensions in order for the stairs to be safe when a person is going up and down. The homeowner must choose the handrail design they love and make sure that it meets the building code requirements for safety before having it installed.

Third, stair railings do not make a statement. Creating a passable view is important for most homeowners because this is the aesthetic which is considered modern these days. Glass, wire, vertical poles and cable are versions of handrails for stairs which blend with any interior design. There are home designs which require the stair railing to be invisible. These are the versions needed for those kinds of designs. A homeowner may also get design inspirations for hotels, condominiums and magazines and relay it to craftsmen who are great in making handrails for stairs.

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2014 -- Why are spiral staircases or grand staircases bad for Feng Shui? Despite the aesthetics spiral staircases bring, Feng Shui believers are still against this style.

Why Is It Considered "Bad"

Feng Shui experts oppose spiral staircases with the belief that such style is similar to a corkscrew excavating into a specific fragment of the bagua in the office or home. It was believed that families living in a home with such stair design usually encounter health issues associated with heart or blood pressure illnesses. The "Chi" which is the innate flowing vigor from rising to higher points are prevented with spiral staircase designs because of the empty space connecting each step.

People who have spiral staircases at home or in their offices and are Feng Shui -conscious usually find themselves creatively devising ways on how to repel the "negative energy" surrounding the design. The most common strategy used by many is via covering the openings of the steps with a wood, then have it covered by a carpet. It is also believed that the use of neutral colors in the stairs opening covers is brings in energy. In working against the "descending corkscrew energy, it is advisable to use plants and lighting wherein the plants cause the energy to move uphill and the light pointing upward from the bottom.

Grand staircases which we usually see in hotels and in luxury homes are also believed to bring in perils according to Feng Shui due to its spherical nature wherein energy flowing up at the left side of the staircase (which is considered as the "family area") emanates and flows down to the right side of the staircase (which is considered as the "creative area"). The danger is that it bypasses half of the Bagua's second floor.

To repel the harmful energy grand staircases bring, adding a red rug right at the top of the right staircase is advisable to halt the energy from flowing back downward. Seeing huge chandeliers above vestibules and glistening chandeliers at the upper floors where two staircases converge has in fact have a Feng Shui purpose. Upward sconce lights along staircases and tall trees at the bottom and some ivies along the frames both help in persuading "Chi" upward.

Of course, not all people believe in Feng Shui. But it is never harmful to consider these "energies" when working with a staircase builders to ensure not only the aesthetics of the staircase that will be built, but also in encouraging appropriate flow of energy. LK & Sons, one of the pioneering New York stairs builders, is one team who are well-experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to stairs customization.
